Bus error after successful mmap of physical address

["Alex Gonzalez" <langabe@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am sure there is a basic reason why this is not working but I just
can't see it.

I am booting with mem=512MB and trying to access a memory region at
0xC0000000 mapped by a fixed TLB entry.

My driver does,

vma->vm_flags = vma->vm_flags | VM_IO | VM_RESERVED ;
vma->vm_page_prot = pgprot_noncached(vma->vm_page_prot) ;

        // Map the whole physically contiguous area in one piece
        if( (ret  = io_remap_pfn_range(vma , vma->vm_start, vma->vm_pgoff ,
vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start , vma->vm_page_prot)) < 0 )
    return ret;
        return 0

And my user space app does:

// open device
        vadr = mmap( NULL , 1024*1024 ,
PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ,MAP_NORESERVE|MAP_SHARED,device,0xC0000000);
        if(vadr == MAP_FAILED)
        {
                perror("mmap failed.\n");
                exit(-1);
        }


That goes OK, but then if I try to read or write from vadr I get a "Bus error".

Isn't that the correct way to map a physical address region to user
space? I just need to make sure that this is the case before starting
to debug the issue.

Thank a lot,
Alex
